What does Parent and Carer Support look like?

As parents and caregivers, we all worry about our children from time to time, but when a concern is troubling you it can be difficult to know where to turn. We have listened to parents and our research shows that caregivers are looking for one-to-one support, peer support, and advice and guidance when their child’s behaviour is becoming a concern. Request a call back or make a referral and a member of the team will arrange a face-to-face appointment to get you started.

Oasis Encounter Session

Oasis Encounter

Our Parent and Carer Team in Greater Manchester are trained to deliver Oasis Encounter sessions. Encounter is a therapeutic offer based on the principles of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR), which explores ‘connection before correction’ and has proven to be effective even where a child has anxiety, ADHD, or Autism.  

Cases of the parents and carers we’ve supported

“I didn’t know what to do about Jake’s behaviour, he was so demanding all the time and being verbally abusive to his sister.”

Mum of two children

“I don’t feel I have any support at home. After my separation my eldest would get angry so quickly. I don’t know what to do.”

Mum of two children

“Bobby just goes out every night and won’t come back when I say. I’m worried about who he’s hanging around with.”

Mum of one child

“Lucy was bullied at school and it seemed extreme, I didn’t feel listened to by the school.”
